Im thinking about starting to race riding lawn mowers but I don't have a trailer to put my lawn mower in. So can I use ramps to lift my lawn mower into the bed of my truck?
Thanks.
Yes, metal ramps for this exact purpose are readily available. Your local mower service centre will have some for collecting/delivering mowers, they may not mind you asking where you can buy them from. If you are leaving the cutting deck on (and assuming it is centre-mounted) the key thing is to ensure that the deck does not snag as the front wheels go down on to the bed of the truck, the ramps need to be long enough (or arched) to give a fairly shallow gradient as the tractor goes on to the truck (and obviously the deck must be in highest position). As already said, the ramps must be fixed securely to the truck. Do not use timber, there is a risk of splitting/breakage, which could result in a serious and expensive accident.

Ive been looking to buy a zero turn lawn mower but unsure if one is capable of riding 8ft ramps into the back of an 04' f150 without tipping over backwards.
They look like there isnt any weight on the front end and look like they are back heavy since the motor and the driver sit in the rear.
Anyone attempted this before?And if so will a zero turn 42" cut mower even fit width wise in the back of a pickup truck anyway?Thanks.
Thanks for all the help people.Since everyone tried to help.This will go for a vote!!
they sure can...they have a very low center of gravity
This probably seems like a really dumb question, but here it goes. I have a problem. I'm trying to load my riding lawn-mower onto the back of my pickup truck. Sounds easy right? Well, there are a few problems. I don't have a ramp, I don't have a trailer nor do I have the money to buy either of the two. Outside of those two problems, I don't see anyway I can lift it even half-way. I am not Hulk Hogan. Any suggestions?
Do you have some boards lying around somewhere? We have used 5 or 6 ft pieces of lumber - preferably at least as wide as the tires Place them like a ramp between the ground and the truck bed to match the width of the tires. If you don't have any lumber lying around, you might check craigslist or place an ad on freecycle.
Be aware, I have an extremely bad back. I am not sure if I am even going to tackle this alone. I need to know how to make a secure ramp and where is the oil bolt?
I would like to change the oil before winter and storage. Thanks.
I found the oil bolt, but cannot loosen? I sprayed with WD40. If I am able to loosen later, what type of pan fits in this narrow space? Help.
on a sears craftsman 20 hp. twin blade 42" cutting deck, you have to drive the front wheels up on blocks to get to the drain plug.
I am just curious,I know crime will rise because of gas prices.My husband had some lawn mower ramps stolen right out from under our porch,and I think someone tried to steal our riding mower.So has anyone else been affected by this?Where we live people have been stealing car parts from cars in store parking lots.Thanks and GOD-bless
I am not talking about paying for gas,I am talking about physical crime.
My car has been broken into!

How to run a lawnmower Rider?
Hey, I wondered about the basics of running a rider lawnmower. I am 17 years old (yes I know, sad), but only the trim around the house with a push mower all my life. My parents are a little busy and I would that some basic things about her. This is a standard wheel runner.
Running a lawn mower is dangerous, but is carried out by what a car. Some things to consider before you even get to the cutter to make sure you have the ear protection and footwear that are related, because if you are defeated, can be trapped by the PTO and seriously injured. Once over what just starting line / pattern and up and down the court in this line for scratches. It is so difficult to learn and once you are good at what you can do many things with them. Zero becomes more difficult to learn, because you to twist or gently tear the grass, may be more difficult to govern with levers instead of a stearing wheel, once you learn to use them, you can make any anything else with them.

I thought I was getting a good deal when I bought this. Boy, was I sorely mistaken! This is, without a doubt, the WORST car I have ever driven. To start with, the tiny engine the cheapskate manufacturers put in won't go any faster then ten miles per hour. What the freak is the point of driving ten miles per hour? I might as well walk! I would probably look cooler walking than in this piece of trash. Everyone was passing me up on the freeway and giving me the finger. And then later a cop pulled me over for going to slow and not having any brake lights or mirrors. What kind of stupid company is this? A car without freaking brake lights or mirrors? Do they expect me to use this in freaking India?...
